I have bet on countless of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of bankroll at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.

Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet

Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager

Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet

Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

Wager $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original $40 bet

Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80

Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet

Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial one hundred and 60 dollar bet

If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
